Outback Tour of the month

Red Centre Sunrise

Uluru and Kata Tjuta without the coach crowds — dune-top sunsets, a field-of-light dinner and a station homestead you'd move into if you could.

6 days max 10 easy
A$5,890pp, all-in from Alice Springs
Next: 14 May
Reef Liveaboard

Great Barrier Reef Liveaboard

Five days on a 12-berth expedition yacht out of Cairns. A marine biologist leads every snorkel; evenings are deck dinners and absurd star fields.

5 days max 12 easy, swim-fit
A$4,240pp, all-in from Cairns
Next: 3 Jun
Wilderness Whisky

Tasmanian Wilderness & Whisky

Cradle Mountain hut walks by day, Coal River Valley cellar doors by evening. Seven days of cold air and very warm glasses.

7 days max 8 moderate
A$6,120pp, all-in from Hobart
Next: 21 Oct
Expedition Full-send

Kimberley Coast Expedition

Eight days along Australia's last wild coastline — heli landings on mesas, tidal waterfalls, and a cliff-edge lodge that barely exists on maps.

8 days max 6 adventurous
A$9,480pp, all-in from Broome
Next: 9 Jul
Gourmet Wildlife

Barossa & Kangaroo Island Gourmet

Four days of long lunches — small Barossa cellars that don't do walk-ins, then over to KI for sea-lion beaches and a farm-table dinner.

4 days max 8 very easy
A$3,760pp, all-in from Adelaide
Next: 2 Nov
Private Your dates

Any of these, just for you

Every route above runs as a private departure — your dates, your pace, your people. We add a dedicated guide and subtract the strangers.

The fine print, upfront

What's folded into every fare

No surprise extras

All transport

Flights, rail, 4WDs and transfers — even the seaplane hops.

Every night's stay

Lodges, cabins and homesteads we'd book for ourselves.

Guides & permits

Local field guides, park fees and the permits you can't get solo.

24/7 support line

A real person on the phone while you're away — us, not a call centre.

How it works

Four steps to departure

No checkout carts, no holding pages. Just a short conversation and then we do the work.

You go; we watch the horizon

While you travel we track weather, road closures and flight changes — and quietly fix things before you notice.

From our travellers

“We handed them a mood board and a budget. What came back was better than the Pinterest version.”

“The Tassie whisky nights alone were worth the fare. Cold trails, warm drams — perfectly judged.”

“Booked solo, nervous as hell. Came home with nine new mates and a camera roll I still scroll at work.”

Good questions

Before you book

The stuff people ask us most. Anything else — just call or write.

Guide checking a route map in the field

No — 20% locks your seat and the balance isn't due until 45 days before departure. Change your mind inside the first week and the deposit comes straight back.

Every trip card carries an honest difficulty tag. "Easy" means you can stroll for an hour; "adventurous" means you'll sleep well. If you're unsure, tell us — we've adjusted days for dodgy knees plenty of times.

Yes — we brief every kitchen and lodge directly before you arrive. Allergies, medications needing a fridge, mobility notes: put it in the enquiry and we'll confirm what's possible before you pay a cent.

We reroute. Every itinerary has a wet-weather spine — a cancelled reef day becomes a rainforest day, not a refund argument. You'll get a message before you've finished breakfast.

Not bundled — everyone's cover needs differ — but our insurance desk can quote comprehensive AU policies at trade rates and handle the paperwork for you.

Tell us the trip in your head

Fifteen minutes on a call beats three evenings of tab-hopping. We'll sketch a route live — free, no strings.
